so happy but still need to get my founder's pack for all that good stuff! Really looking forward to seeing you guys then if you're in CBT~

Quote :

If players don’t purchase a Founder’s Pack there will limited opportunities to gain access through the official beta signup on the Blade & Soul website. We’ll also have additional chances through beta code giveaways via official Blade & Soul social channels, as well as offers from participating partners—stay tuned for more info!

There is no limit on the emails so spam those alts

PS. If you get any spare keys or notices from "partners" .. please share. Any spare beta keys welcome in the Legion HQ

I cant yet see any "official beta signup" opening up lol. And need to be quick to get keys from those participating partners. I remember having a hard time getting a key for archeage coz keys used to be over within 1 hr of announcement (though i did eventually manage to get a key for myself ). Lets make sure we get keys for everyone though the play time doesn't seem that great in this closed beta.

P.S. Rey dont expect me in aion till 15th coz exams

So apparently EU Beta will start a few weeks later. So much rage on the BnS forums because that'd mean 2 weeks of playing on NA server = higher ping. I'm glad most of our folks have a more laid back/casual approach towards BnS because damn, the (overly) dedicated/full PvP mode folks just got pulled one over

doesnt matter much...its beta anyways. actual grind starts after the servers officially opens

Tell that to the people here but be warned, you might get yourself some negative reputation in the process

www.bladeandsouldojo.com/topic/124434-no-eu-servers-1st-beta-weekend/

damn..thats some raging over there. Why would they even rage about missing cbt or a bit higher ping for 1 weekend? its just CBT lmao. And even wtfast is free now.
If they had delayed the actual start, then even i would have agreed with them but this is just plainly moronic.
stupid whiny kids everywhere.

Really? you had a hard time getting a beta key fey for Archage? I got one just by singing up and even though i never used any of the keys they sent me (didnt have the time) i still kept getting the invinations to beta test weekends.

Yeah sadly.
I was continuously keeping track of reddit n other sites for one of the cbt weekends to get my key. luckily one of the sites started while i was not sleeping.
But archeage was one big disappointment anyways

Your luck is plain superior to any human being and this applies to every rng that ever matters lmao

Sign up for a chance to receive a weekend invite or Purchase a Founder's Pack to access all Closed Beta weekends

So, with an invite purchased via mail we can play only for a weekend and that's all?

From my (limited) understanding:

Founder Packs -> Access to all CB weekends. For the first two it means you'd have to play on the NA server since no EU servers during the first weeks.
Email sign-up / Partners -> Chance to participate in one or more beta weekends.
